The handle on the Air-Way Sanitary System is removable. You MUST use a heat gun first to heat the metal that the handle slips into. Not difficult, but you will break/crack it if you do not use a heat gun on the metal first. Heat gun on HI, heat up the metal (with screw removed) until the handle starts to move back and forth slightly. Turn off the heat gun, and pull the handle straight UP without wiggling it. It will come out and all will be undamaged. Protect the indicator over the fan (I'd remove it and ship it in a coffee can with packing, all by itself).
